#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I scored so highly in this area because I have a similar situation in my household. I show mercy to those who are lost, addicts etc. I know someone who is a great person but chooses to go down a different path.

#2 Gift, Teaching (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think that I scored second highest in this area because I am a teacher and can help those who are struggling. I can guide others in the right path. Even though I have a lot to learn myself I feel once I learn more spiritually I could really be a great teacher to others.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Although I scored this in my top three I feel I am not as confident in preaching to others about God. I have a lot to learn myself and feel I would not do a great job in this area.
